Hi

I would just like some advice please before I attack my Cheve Cavalier
1999 this coming weekend and install a new Sony CD/Radio player in the
place of the original factory radio.

I have the following ready

Haynes manual
Car Stereo E-Z Mounting kit
Car Stereo Wire Harness
Antenna Adapter
New Cd Player

The instuctions in the haynes manual show the removal procedure of the
original factory radio (unplugging the air bags first) but the entire
dash is not there in the photographs before the actual removal is
started . I hope I'm not right in thinking that the the whole of the
top of the dash has to come off before I start the actual work :-(

Perhaps this is a bigger task than I thought it was, although still
just as much fun and will probably take up my entire saturday instead
of just the morning.

Look forward to any replies

Andrew

The whole top of the dash does have to come off. It is a simple task.

Local libraries have online access to an automotive source call
ALLDATA. In there you'll find illustrations on your specific make and
model of vehicle, and be able to see exactly where all the attaching
nuts and bolts are located. Jim

Thanks for your reply Edward.

I'll have a look at the Haynes manual now and see what the deal is to
do it.
